per-terminal history

(Modified 2013 Apr 23)

Saving per-terminal history

Add the following line to your cshrc file.

• • set histfile=~/.history`tty | sed 's/\//_/g' `

sed is a command-line editor, while tty prints the name of the terminal.

I adapted the above from IBM, except with the following changes:

• • sed didn't like the -e flag before the substitution

  • The IBM page had an extra underscore before the name of the tty insertion.
